Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I create MCP Tools out of an OpenAPI spec, the intent routing does not go via URLs but via operation ids.

For conversational AI chatbots like adk I want to

  • enrich the response with a hint for the chatbot to choose the next operationId
  • test the intent routing based on expected operationIds

Describe the solution you'd like

I implement the api controllers within Spring Boot.

When I want to refer to a given operationId, I need to access the operationId via a constant value. Otherwise I cannot guarantee during compile time that intent routing or the operationIds in the response actually exist.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently I override the api.mustache template in my Java Spring project exposing the operationId as a constant similar the already existing PATH constant.

Additional context

Implementation done within Spring Boot.

Research direction

Start by reading the api.mustache override described in the issue and locating the corresponding Spring Boot server generator templates. Determine how generated operationId values and existing PATH constants are exposed. Done means the generated controller API provides operationId constants that can be referenced for routing and response hints, with the requested behavior covered by the generator's existing validation approach.
